Solar-Shield Belts and You

You seem like the kind of person who’s into hot, powdery materials.

Or maybe sintered ore is more your thing. Or taconite pellets. Or coke. Or cement.

Regardless, if you’re movin’ hot, hot stuff down your conveyor line, you should treat your belts to Solar-Shield® compounds from Continental and your pals at Binkelman.

“Solar-Shield heat-resistant compounds deliver high performance in extremely hot material applications,” said Brad Czerniak, Field Sales Manager for Continental. “They maintain their physical properties through continuous exposure, which results in better results for our customers. Plus, they’re made in the U.S.A.”

Choose from these four delicious options.

Solar-Shield Classic

Formulated for materials up to 350°F (180°C), this compound provides excellent heat and abrasion resistance. It has a terrific personality, too.

Solar-Shield Plus

You want your conveyor belts to stay flexible while resisting cover cracks and carcass delamination, don’t you? Of course you do! Only a dummy wouldn’t want that. Your new friend Solar-Shield Plus will lower operating costs by extending the life of your belts, even if they’re exposed to temperatures up to 400°F (200°C).

Solar-Shield Extreme

Talk about your superior heat resistance! Solar-Shield Extreme delivers. Just like your mom, it can handle hot material loads intermittently up to 750°F (400°C). And it prevents hardening and cracking of your conveyor belts. Let’s see your mom do that!

Solar-Shield Ultimate

If you ran a conveyor line on the surface of the sun, you’d want Solar-Shield Ultimate working for you. It’s designed for operations that move material above 750°F (400°C). Its heat resistance will extend your belt life by 2 to 3 times beyond other solutions, which means you can save up enough money to buy a bus ticket off the sun every now and then.

Czerniak added that “Solar-Shield Belting is baked throughout the entirety of the belt, so even as belt abrades, you’ll still get superior performance.”
